Least Confident Win - Buffalo, 12/23/12. If Buffalo is in playoff contention at that point in time, I think its going to be tough to pull it out. There's also a good chance Tannehill will be starting by that point and he'll have his lumps for sure.

Most Confident Win - New York Jets, 9/23/12. Miami has only lost to Rex Ryan once since he's been the Jets head coach.

Least Confident Loss - Oakland, 9/16/12. Matt Moore is likely to be the QB still and that's a really far trip for Oakland.

Most Confident Loss - Either Patriots game.

Overall, Miami has a pretty easy schedule this year as I look at it. I know a lot of people think they are a candidate to have the worst record but the defense should keep them in most games and I think they'll get to 5-7 wins with that schedule. It all depends if/when Tannehill gets the reigns handed to him as there are a number of winnable games late if Moore starts the whole year.

C'mon, you know damn well you're taking one from the Pats. Probably the one at your house.

So say we win 3 of those and steal an upset or two we should get to about 5 wins.

So... 5-11 would be my pick, best case we can probably win 9 games but that would be an absolute shock. Worst case we could lose every game. A lot will depend on how the new look OL goes and if Peterson can come back and be a star still because we still have an awful lot of holes and a serious lack of playmaking.

If Bradford is the guy (and I think he can be), then the Rams should do better than 5-11 this season. I'd guess 8-8, even with the coaching change.

It's difficult to pick out eight wins when looking at the schedule for St. Louis. @ DET, @ CHI, GB, NE, @ SF, NYJ, SF, @ BUF are all going to be very tough games for the Rams. That's seven losses already. Their other nine games are WAS, SEA, ARI, @ MIA, @ ARI, MIN, @ TB, @ SEA. I think you could make a pretty good argument that they're the underdog in most of those games as well. Jeff Fisher should help the Rams turn things around, but their schedule doesn't seem very conducive to success right now.

In recent history, us being in contention associates with it being more likely that we will lose :(

I think you might be the only person that pegged a Bills game as a loss, though. You'll all see!

I think St. Louis has a chance to beat the Jets and I think they could steal a game from the 49ers. The other games you listed could result in four more wins. 6-10 is probably the ceiling though.
